But surely, that begs the question, why is it more common? Nature or nuture? The ancient Greeks were well known for their homosexual activity. If it nature, I personallys struggle to believe that something could have changed in our genetic structure so radically in the last 2000 years or so to turn the balance so drastically. The upshot of this viewpoint is that it would suggest that it is more nuture than nature, so at some point it must have been considered to be "wrong". This has propogated through the ages to the point where homosexuality, by one definition of the word is not considered "normal". The problem is that other people can interpret the concept of "normal" differently, and this results in an intolerance for homosexuals.
